Used Computers

Improper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste) can have serious consequences for the environment. Yet, most businesses are unaware and send their old computers, monitors, printers and other electronic devices to be placed in landfills or incinerated. In fact, according to the EPA, only 12.5% of worldwide e-waste is recycled.

When it comes time to upgrade your computer, you'll be happy to know that you may have a valuable asset that can help offset the cost: your old equipment! Many people view old PCs, monitors and related equipment as destined for the landfill or, at best, as items to be given away for free. If you happen to share this view, the experts at SourceTech beg to differ.

Though there are some significant differences between new servers, a refurbished server and used servers, they can all provide a perfect solution for a company that needs to expand its network resources. Upgrading network hardware is something that every business needs to do regularly, as it ensures the business can continue to grow and integrate the best software into its production environment. However, company owners and department heads can feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available to them. That’s where a reputable seller can really help the process along.

When a company opts for used computers, they aren’t opting for inferior or unreliable technology. With a reputable refurbishment professional, it’s just the opposite. PCs need to be replaced regularly, and especially when an office is full of commodity machines. Basic, standard issue PCs outlive their usefulness rather quickly, even though they are only intended for general office tasks. However, a company doesn’t have to keep repeating the cycle with lesser hardware, as a refurbishment expert can often provide better components at a lesser price, extending the useful life of the system.
